DES MOINES (AP) - Gov. Chet Culver says nearly $3 million in grants has been awarded to four projects as part of the state's Vision Iowa program.
Culver says the projects will give residents and visitors new recreational and educational opportunities. Culver's office says $45,000 was awarded to a park shelter project in Birmingham. Another $325,000 was awarded for a Children's Discovery Center in Clinton. In Postville, $850,000 was awarded to a project adding an addition to the city's existing recreation center. The project getting the highest grant award was a rail-to-trail conversation project that will start in Ankeny and run 25 miles to Woodward. It was awarded $1.75 million. The grants are contingent on the projects completing their fundraising goals. More Good Stuff |
